A POSITIVE LIFE.
An Interesting and Positive Sermon
by Rev. M. ID. Shutter.

Rev. NJ. d. Shutter preached last even
ing at the Church of the Redeemer, from
Matt. Xii:14.
Diminishing the old idea of personal devil
and evil spirits, the moral of the story is this:
Life is positive. 1t is not sum in subtrac-
ton but in addition and multiplication. We
come into this world with certain strong ten
denotes organized into US, and find the world
full of evil things and good. The problem of
life is not how one may suppress his nature
and avoid the evil, but how he may truly de-
velop his nature and secure the good. The
process is positive, not negative. Empty only
that you may fill, cast off that you may put
on. Throw away that you may gather. For
everything that you give up see 10 it that
you gain something better. Life is more
than timidly trying to avoid corners; it is
walking erect, with manly tread, along a
straight road.
Religion is not suppression; 1t is substitu-
ton. 1t is not enough to cease from evil;
we must do the good. ITO replace is TO con-
Quer." Pulling up weeds does not make a
garden. Religion exercises demons, but does
not stop until it has populated the soul with
angels. Put on is always set over against
put off, - do" against do not
This idea of positiveness is Of untold value
in all our practical work. Men are intoler-
ant of repression, they chafe under restric-
lions, they kick against prohibitions. AT GEN.
ter this feeling is perfectly right. We were
lives. Our ministering angels are not jaiers
Over against the evils that wrong the hearts
of men we must set the corresponding vir-
tues. We must show them better paths, and
teach them how to walk therein. Every
natural desire and appetite, every native en-
ergy aud bent of the soul will work and ex-
press itself. Religion does not pull nature
up by the roots; it trains the vines in new
direction. Those qualities which make tneu
vigorous sinners when turned into the service
of God make them vigorous Christians. Let
one use his indignation, his combativeness,
his pride in the service of righteousness, and
he will have no trouble with them. Try to
crush them, and they rise with new life from
beneath your heel. Use them, train them,
make them do God service Harness the
devil himself TO the drays of the Almighty.
When men are tempted the difficulty may
very often be overcome by simply turning the
mind in another direction Bring in some
noble thought to drive the base one out The

first time Ulysses sailed past the sirens he
filled the ears of his men with wax, that they
might not hear the strains that would lure
them 10 the shore and transform them into
swine. The second time he took Orpheus on
board, and in the music OF his sweeter strains
the voices OF the sirens were not heard.
In the music of a noble thought the alluring
strains of wee die out unheeded. Evermore
an angel will expel demon. There is no
man so sunken or besotted that the power in
him which makes for righteousness may not

When troubled with doubts we must reach
out after certainties. The mind to which one
thing is settled can deal with other things
that are not settled He who has one solid
plank under his feet, can wait till the storm
of flying timbers has subsidized. IT the thought
of duty Is fixed, man will rise to God. II the

Duty is golden ladder whose upper end Is

whose throne that ladder is forever fastened.

A woman richly dressed entered Boston

appeared handed him $40 gold piece.
i cannot change that for cents" he
said, politely.
Il have nothing less,'' was the curt
reply.
The alternative for the man was to put
her off the car'0r pay her fare out of his
own pocket. Not having the courage to
turn SO magnificent a parsonage out into
the street. he chose the latter course and
SAID nothing.
In week she repeated the same trick.
The conductor, still awed by her manner
and dress, allowed himself again to be
cheated into silence. Having told the
story. however. to superintendent, he
received canvas bag containing nine
teen silver dollars and ninety-four cents in
pennies. One rainy morning. soon after,
the woman appeared again.

she said calmly, holding out the gold
piece.

UNDERWEAR
The Styles of This Spring and Sum.
nler.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The mild spring weather of the past
week, which has bordered on the genuine
torridity of summer, has caused the mascu-
line community to shed their winter under
wear. Some men pay more attention to
their underclothing than to their visible
wearing apparel, but quality is not so much
of a consideration with the majority as
cheapness and comfort. The styles in
hosiery and gents furnishing goods have
undergone something of change this year.
Bright and fancy colors have been tabooed
by the best dressers. Experience proves
that all colored hose and underwear will
fade more or less and
THE TENDENCY NOW
is toward plain solid colors, white being the
favorite. Cincinnati has a large number of
stores for the special sale of gents under
wear and furnishing goods. All report
business very brisk this season on account
of the unusual warmth of April. AS soon
as hot spell comes in the spring some peo-
pie are foolish enough to throw aside all
their winter garments and put on the light
cool goods of Summer. A well-known
local physician said that this imprudence
produced as much consumption and other

his opinion it is dangerous to lay aside win
ter underclothing before the list of May,
and sometimes it cannot be safely done be-
fore the 18th.
There is always more or less cold weather
in the latter part of April, and the people
who are wearing summer underwear are
almost certain to have trouble. Sudden
changes are liable to occur at this uncertain
season of the year. The prudent man will
bear discomfort for two or three weeks
rather than ~
RISK LOSING HIS HEALTH
and life. The popular goods in underwear
suits are BalbrigganS and light English mer-
mos. The merinos are of dark and medium
shades of brown and plain natural color. Tha
summer styles will be Isle thread goods and
feather weights, light, soft English mernOs.
In hosiery, Balbriggans Isle and plain mode
colors will be in demand. Colored hosiery
and striped socks are not in vogue this sea-
son. There is very little change in the
price of underwear since last season. If
anything it is trifie cheaper. AS with
everything else the cost depends to great
extent on the quality. The finest English
merinOs are the dearest They range from
S. to SIS per suit. The English suits are
sold according to size. A small mali can
get this class of underwear much cheaper
than large one. The large sizes cost 10,
Is and rs cents more than the small. Only
the blue bloods buy very fancy underwear.
A first-class Balbriggan is
AS sERvICEABLE AND DESIRABLE
kind of undergarment as man can wear.
Some excellent Balbriggans can be had for
So per suit. Several cheap stores sell a
good article for SO, and suits can be found
| as low as 81, but they are not of reliable
quality. The Balbriggan goods which con-
tain some wool are worn without the
weight which attaches to winter under
wear. 1t is in consequence the safest from
hygienic view to wear it this season ri
the year. AS before mentioned, the gents,
furnishing goods dealers have great de-
